"Bush's praise for Rumsfeld will discredit the United States...and further damage its reputation, which is already at a historic low in the Arab world,"

This "Arab world" is on my last nerve.

Hope it scares their pants of too. (Am I allowed to say that now?)

[Joe Hadenuf]

He ought to give Rumsfeld a raise, and really make um do the chicken.....

[TheSpottedOwl]

Boohoo, pass the kleenex. Do they use their left hands to blow their noses, too?

[marron]

I was moved by Bush's statement to the Arab press, it was the right thing to do and the right thing to say to the Arab world.

But I do not want a president or a SecDef who go around apologizing for things, I want people in leadership who will face problems and fix them. Did the enemy wound us on Bush's watch? Then I want him to chase them down and finish them. Did some of our soldiers get out of hand on Rum's watch? Then I want him to dispense justice and fix the problem.

The whole notion of pro-forma apologies leaves me cold. Apologize when you mean it, but never do it just for show. Resign when you can't do your job, but never resign just to please your enemies.

Forgive y language, but what the hell DOESN'T anger Arabs/ragheads?

Modern civilization as a whole angers them.
Women outside of black bags anger them.
Dogs anger them.
Anyone not Muslim angers them.
Jews anger them.
Christians anger them.
Defiance of their death-cult angers them.
Our Constitution angers them.
The Crusades still anger them.
(They anger me too, since they didn't go far enough to rid the world of Islam)

Point is- you either have to be pathologically angry to BE Muslim, or it is a brain-washing experience that incites anger at everything.
What other people LIVE screaming in the streets like packs of wild-eyed cavepeople?
I'm angry that Islam EXISTS, how about that?

Rummy should stay. ESPECIALLY since our enemy doesn't want him to remain. If the evil people are against you, it's a good thing.

Geeee....the Arab community is shocked and angered......too &$@&^%!*& bad!

I've been shocked and angered by the Arab's support of Arafat, Assad, Kha-"daffy", bin-Laden, Hussein, Khomeini, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, al-Aqsa Brigades...and the multitude of other freaks, mullahs, ayatollahs, sheiks, murderers, malcontents, homicide bombers and flotsam/scum.

When the Arabs condemn, control and eliminate their own; I'll consider being harder on good men who have slight lapses.

[TommyDale]

The Arabs can go pound sand. Oh, they already do!

Arabs are always angry. Wasn't that movie titled, "Life Sucks" a docudrama about Arabs miserable lives.

[Tacis]

I urge you all to be circumspect about your criticsm of those who work for Reuters. At least eleven Reuters reporters currently in Iraq are actually special agents of the Mossad. And, three of them also work for the CIA. So as you are critical of the Reuters folks, you also place Mossad agents in jeopardy. Beware!!

[Tacis]

Darn, I missed the "Loose lips sink ships" warning. Please disregard my previous message about Mossad agents disguising themselves as Reuters reporters.

Anger is just a mask for FEAR. I guess our armed forces have made an impression. My advice....learn to live with it.

Oh let me tell ya about A-hab,
the A-rab...
Sheik of the burnin' sands....
ever' night he'd crawl into Fatima's tent...
And then?
And then?
Oh, baby...that's a what ah like.....

[ChiMark]

I don't care who likes us, I want them to FEAR us.

May sound a bit callus of me but who gives a sh**?
